Olympic Torch comes to the tower

Last week the Olympic torch came through Blackpool. It came to the tower itself in fact and went up to the ballroom. Harry Judd (drummer from McFly) and dancer Aliona Vilani (Strictly Come Dancing Champions) danced with it in the famous Tower Ballroom - where the final of strictly was held. Unfortunately we were unable to witness the dancing itself but us dungeon creatures were there in full force (and full make-up!) cheering the torch as it came down Bank Hey street and then came past the indoor dungeon entrance on it's way up to the tower.

Mcfly were also performing a couple of days later (along with The Wanted) and we got a great sneaky view from the dungeon staff room! Over the last week or so the stage on the Promenade had also played host to John Barrowman and Elton John (though we weren't allowed a peak at that one ;-p ). We had witnessed the stage being built up bit by bit from the staffroom window over time and now bit by bit it is being taken down again. It must take the work and resources of so many people to do it all.
